Description
This brand-new, user-friendly text takes you effortlessly through the step-by-step process you need to accurately distinguish the various components of each and every tissue, organ, and system under consideration. Each chapter contains a “commonly misdiagnosed” section to help you avoid the usual pitfalls in identification, and a “logic tree” maps out the questions you should be asking yourself as you go through the identification process.
- Accurately identify a structure with step-by-step guidance instructing you on when to use a low magnification or high magnification objective.
- Focus on the parts of the micrograph you should be assessing via the help of large format micrographs accompanied by pen and ink drawings.
- Avoid pitfalls thanks to a “commonly misdiagnosed” section at the end of the each chapter.
- Obtain expert guidance on practical matters in the lab using an appendix on techniques and stain procedures.
A clear page design, concise text, and practical binding make this resource an indispensable friend in the lab. It’s almost like having your own personal histology instructor at your side.

Reviews:
I went through it and found it an excellent histology manual not only for the students but for the instructors as well. Brilliant job, Prof.

Previously I have used a lab manual for an Embryology course I taught at City College of New York that presented both micrographs and drawings of the slide. I consider that to be an excellent way to present the material to students. For that reason, I have listed your atlas as a suggested texts for my Histology courses. Making it available through Openstax will benefit many students.
